(This isn't a wind up - I am genuinely interested in the answers)
As will become clear, I know nothing about permit/microlight operations...
If a pilot is suitably qualified (IMCR/IR) is it legal to fly in VMC without sight of the ground?
Also, as I understand it you can't fly over built-up areas, right? Is this regardless of your altitude and regardless of glide clear ability?
And what about on the near continent? e.g. France.
